Critique by Silver Fox
Hi Tracy.
Wish it were the finished product, would love to see a photo of it.
I love looking at fresh built wooden things made by hand. Love the smell of the wood and the leftover chips, etc.

I'm looking up and your pattern is very interesting to look at, lots of lines running into each other to stop and then head out into other directions; but they eventually all lead into the middle where the leaded glass insert is going to be. Great idea. Great Abstract.
What's the overall size going to be?

You show good exposure and nice crisp focus so much so that I love looking at the wood grain and the colour on the sides of those 2/4's. They're beautiful. . . How many coats of finish do you have on them?

Tracy, I've got to be honest with you, you need to have this re critiqued by someone who is also a carpenter. We have a few guys who are photographers and carpenters and who would do a much better job than I could possibly do here. I just don't feel qualified to do this for you.

Your photograph certainly fits the Leading Lines Challenge, The Focus is Strong, You've got strong imagination with what you've come up with, your photo is nice and crisp and really brings the colour out of the wood, but I think this critique should go further than this, the way you've joined the wood together, I can't described that type of thing

will you contact me, and I can ask someone else to contact you and help finish this off who is a finisher carpenter?
Regards,
Ed Dalton

The pattern is interesting. The angle of the shot is good. exposure and sharpness is also good. I'm not sure if this picture satisfies the theme as it is difficult to determine which line to follow to the subject. I think your interpretation is that all lines lead to the opening. I can see your point!

Wow look at all those 2x2's!! Very cool. Too bad it wasn't a nicer day (bluer sky).

Nice pattern of lines. You might want to try this shot in black & white. 7.

But where are the lines??? (Just kidding!) Great abstract shot. The only thing I would have liked would be a nice blue sky... but that certainly doesn't happen often enough!

I like the contrast perhaps it would have worked better if it was shot b&w.
There are imop to many lines going in different directions to make an impact

This is really to busy for me. The colors seem a bit dull.

I like this photo, because it has many lines. It's quite unique given the fact there are so many. Clarity and technically aspects are great. Excellent capture and GL.
